Policing in India

This book deals with the hardships, difficulties, successes and failures of a police officer.Apart from physical fitness, a police officer is required to abreast with medico-legal knowledge, expertise in investigating skills, legal know-how, a repo with public and politician and a good liasoning with court and executive magistracy. The book also deals with how policing can be done in different situations like strengthening national integration, empowering tribals, women and reducing the menace of naxalism, the role of police in combating unlawful assembly, human rights violations, communal riots, increasing rape incidents etc. I have discussed some of the important legal issues which confront common people in their day to day life like the first information report, dying declaration, procedure of trials, burden of proof, special immunities enjoyed by different agencies, confession, defamation, relevancy of facts, charge sheet, right to self defence. I have also discussed the remedial measures as to how we can prevent custodial deaths, dowry death cases, false registration of cases by police, measures to prevent dacoity, and theft, surveillance of bad characters by police, effectiveness of tracking dog, nuisance, false registration of case by daughter-in-law against her father and mother in-laws, child abuse and its prevention, anticipatory bail, safeguard against drug addiction, safeguard against registration of false case and suicide, how road robbery and accidental death can be prevented. I am sure that this book would enhance the knowledge of police officers and the public regarding policing in India.
